A pretty much self-explanatory list of the things I am pro and the things I am con.

In no particular order.

    I am pro Ira Glass, but I am con Milan Kundera.
    I am pro Biergartens, but I am con beer.
    (I just don't like it.)
    I am pro rock climbing, but I am con falling.
    I am pro the astronaut who called Car Talk from the space shuttle, but I am con people who say "Is it cold enough for 'ya?"
    I am pro baseball statistics, but I am con the wave.
    I am pro Brookline Booksmith, but I am con Barnes & Noble.
    I am pro OmU, but I am con Elmo.
    (The first indicates that a movie in Germany is the original language version with subtitles. The second is just annoying.)
    I am pro wicked 'uge snow stahms, but I am con so-called 'dry heat'.
    I am pro Jimmy Carter, but I am con Jim Carrey.
    I am pro alliteration, but I am con very small pieces of chalk.
    I am pro mailmen, but I am con on-line service providers.
    I am pro "Respect my authori-tah!", but I am con Judge Judy justice.
    (Despite the alliteration.)
    I am pro Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, but I am con Return of the Jedi.
    (Admit it, the little teddy bear people were ricockulous!)
    I am pro atmosphere, but I am con attitude.
    I am pro Fenway franks, but I am con the Yankees winning the World Series ever ever again.
    I am pro bonus points, but I am con that penny they give you in change from the 99 cent parking at the Cambridgeside Galleria.
    I am pro the Old Hancock Tower, but I am con the New Beetle.
    I am pro the Deutschmark, but I am con the Euro.
    I am pro the dative case, but I am con the fifth and sixth principle parts of Greek verbs.
    (OK, we were wrong to lose the dative case, but the sixth principle part of a verb... now you're just showing off.)
    I am pro Kevin Meaney & the less obscure Kevin Spacey, but I am con Kevin Costner.
    (He likes himself enough for all of us.)
    I am pro Masterpiece Theater, but I am con Mobil Masterpiece Theater.
    I am pro Jane Austen novels, but I am con personal web pages.
    (Hmmmm....)
    I am pro board games, but I am con X Games.
    I am pro order, but I am con "What-ever!".
    I am pro the Gap, but I am con Old Navy.
    (Is it possible to be a Gap snob?)
    I am pro reality shows on TLC, but I am con pretty much anything on Fox.
    (Especially the news!)
    I am pro Danskos, but I am con puffy sleeves coming back.
    I am pro Joe, but I am con Steve.
    (You know, the guy from Blue's Clues!)
    I am pro #42, but I am con #41 and #43.
    (Presidents, that is.)
    I am pro Siskel, but I am con Ebert and Roeper.
